/me gives my two cents

If Sayah actually is saying something worth reading, then he's okay.  As long as the post isn't swerving off-topic due to his posing. But when he starts saying worthless or ridiculous things, then we have a problem.  The Mustafar quip was a joke, let it slide.  But if he consistently says things like that, which serve no purpose, then he is a problem.

Well all you have to do is look at recent posts to see who posted where, but i guess your right. Hey that's why we have mediators too. huh.

And I guess I mean't to say NAVY MAIN. It wasn't actually here at the Kaph. It's just when I went back to see the latest info by the latest poster it turned out to be him joking around when I was trying to be serious and get as much done in a short amount of time as I could. Can you see now how someone might get discouraged. Someone like me with a limited amount of time????

My point really was, that I get bored sometimes too. And you know tit for tat. I see all kinds of Army ranks posting here, when I'm told not to post there? Doesn't seem fair really.

But, on the upside, according to the higher ups. I'm not gonna be bored for long. We have some exciiting things planned for summer and I can't wait.

Thanks Than, and you are correct I am not ready due to experience and also activity. I'd have to increase my activity to the level it was before I joined the reserves.

Nothing against Than but Will I am sorry to see you step down, you were a great leader and will still be an excellent member of this team. I look forward to continuing the work we have all done together.

Lymph-(v.) To walk with a lisp

I will, Shaz, I just don't have the time tonight.

Etan, I am doing a rearrangement of the roster for maximum productivity (thus Shaz's post). I'll update the roster in the WIKI once I figure out the roster.

Just a note after some of your comments. Will is sticking with us, but he wont really be back until June. School isn't being very kind to him.


I need to start seeing reports from all of you. Especially you, Cyleaf. I need a Flight Leader report every week.

Hellkite, say something if you are still with us.

That is all for now.

P.S. Thank you all for your support of this change.

> C-3PX2's Current Status:

Things have mostly begun to calm down (not much though), I hoped to be able to get out of inactivity sometime soon. I am not sure if this will be the case. The moment all the problems calmed down, they started to also get worse. Now my RW Grades are Bad, 4D's, 2A's, 1F (math). I also recently got a job. So I will be seeing in the next few weeks if it has calmed down enough to get active. I had hoped to come back for "Imperial Week" (May 16-25)(don't ask, ill explain that one some other time), but now it seems that i wont be back at least until the end of my school year (June 11)(Yea, their making us come in on a Monday to end the year). So until then ... thats just an update on when i should be able to come back into activity.

Hn, I'm not too happy with myself either.  I had two pages typed up but I ended up having to wait a couple of days due to the fact that I still don't have my own computer and my dad doesn't seem to think I need the computer.  By the time I was going to post today, I found out the story was finished.  Sorry guys. . . I hate not having a computer too...

I'm guessing you mean all of us Than. I have been taking the time to read through all the VEWIKI. Did you know there is a page on resuscitation? It seems out of place at first, but then who can't learn enough on resuscitation.

The Strangler has taken the time to post my bios on the WIKI for me. Thanks again Strangler. Now if I can just learn to edit it and perhaps post there, I have some added commentary to do and a few NPC's I would like to post.

Other than that, if there is anyway I can make up or help out, while someone else is busy let me know. I have chemo again starting next Monday so maybe someone could return the favor if I'm unable to get to a terminal.

Roster Changes

Shaz has become busy lately so he is unable to make these changes on the Kaph roster as of yet. I'll list them here so you guys can get used to the new setup and so I can give commentary to explain some of the changes:

SC: Than Sion
FM: Strangler
TBA
FM: Hellkite

FL: Cyleaf
FM: Willtconq
FM: Etan
TBA

FL: Skylla(NPC)
FM: Dredj
TBA
TBA

As you know, Will already made some of the changes. When I was moved to Kaph 1, Strangler was moved to Kaph 2. This is because I quickly learned that we work pretty well together, I wanted him to remain as my wingman.

Hellkite was left where he was because he is kind of on standby until he can get his computer fixed.

Willtconq moved himself to the Kaph 6 position. I have no reason to move him elsewhere. He will be treated like a NPC of sorts until he becomes active again.

Etan was moved out of the 3rd flight because the "reform" involves having that flight have a specific purpose. Flight 3 is meant for now on to be used for newer members who are still getting used to how things work.

The idea is to make Flight 3 a less intimidating place so that we may keep more of the new recruits around longer than the usual 2 weeks or so. This would be achieved through having the newer members work together instead of having them jump into having to work with experienced members, which can be scary.

This is also done by having a member with a rank in the low Petty Officer line being the flight leader. Unfortunately, I can't assign someone to that position as of now since no one applies for one reason or another. Anyways, until someone does, Skylla will remain as they flight leader. Members of flight 3 will have to work with Skylla's character (bio is in Wiki), in story writing.

Because of promotions, this FL seat isn't going to be as stable as the other two. The 3rd FL position is going to be more of an FL in training, designed to allow members to receive commander experience without all the irresponsibility of a more permanent seat. This flight will be watched by me in order to make sure everything is going along smoothly, though I'll keep interference from I to a minimum. This concept allows for lower ranked members to gain valuable command experience which will help them in the future.

Now you may ask, why is Dredj in it? He has been around for some time now, hasn't he? Well, he hasn't been active for much of that time. I've seen evidence that suggests he hasn't grasped how everything works yet because of it. Having him in Flight 3 allows for him to get used to the rules of story writing in a less strict environment. It also allows for members to go in there own direction in story writing easier since Flight 3 assignments would be more general. Members would be moved out of this flight when they move beyond the "field training" stage.

You now may be asking, why is Strangler not in 3rd flight then? Well, this is because Strangler didn't have the usual difficulties that most new recruits have. This is probably due to the fact that he has had fan fiction community experience before the VEN.

Don't worry if this seems confusing now, I'll help you all get used to these changes and related ones in the period before the ESC. If you have any questions, you know what to do.


Oh yeah, reporting changes a little for members of Flight 2. You need to send a report to both Cyleaf and me if you are in it.

Thanks Cy, but I am still going to try to stay up to date and remain active. I think I stated this elsewhere, but as a reminder I go back in the hospital Monday the 21st. But I have noticed that they have a computer terminal online all the time and unused most of the time, at the end of the hallway. It's the one I accessed real quick to tell everyone of my condition back in March.

This time when I go in, I am going to strongly ask/tell the nurses that I need to get online a couple of times to check important messages, that I am expecting. As many times as I have been there, I have gotten to know all of them fairly well and don't see as this should be a problem. If it is though, then I won't be able to report next week and you will hear from me next Saturday when I get home.

Also thanks Than for the updated roster. That makes me Kaph seven now, right? And I think Skylla should have already been listed as FL of third flight. I think all the changes you have made have been most appropriate.

When I addressed the situation of lost newcomers to Shazam, he messaged me as to some of the changes we are making in squadron make ups, for instance new members being kept separate from more experienced members for their own safety sortta speak, hahaha. Not that it matters what I think, and not that I'm all that experienced either, but I think, an entire squadron should be dedicated to newcomers.

Anyway, lemme know what our next assignment is. I look forward to it.

Than might I suggest instead of Friday since that is a go out night for people that maybe we move it to Sunday either before or after the VE meeting? That way there might be more of a chance to get on.

And Y-wings are two seaters right? A gunner and a piltot? So would we be split up and paired with a Nazgul pilot? Or would Will be my gunner or pilot?

Just some thoughts I had.

Some Y-Wing models have two seats but I believe we would be flying the one seat model.

Also, could you, Cy or both get us started on this new mission??

I do better when I have someone else to feed off of.

Lemme know if this is possible?  And what story line we are posting on. Kaph seven out......
